   Areas affected...parts of northeast Georgia into northern South
   Carolina and adjacent parts of North Carolina

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 168...

   Valid 052308Z - 060115Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 168
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Severe potential -- including risk for a tornado --
   continues across portions of WW 168.  Greatest risk is evident over
   northern South Carolina at this time.

   DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows thunderstorms occurring in a
   band from northern Georgia eastward into northern South Carolina. 
   The storms are occurring in the vicinity of a west-to-east wedge
   front, with an axis of 1000 to 2000 J/kg mixed-layer CAPE aligned
   roughly along this boundary.  As such, the environment in/near WW
   168 remains supportive of continued/vigorous storms.

   The most substantial risk at this time is indicated across
   north-central South Carolina.  Here, a lone, well-organized
   supercell is moving east-southeastward into/across Lancaster County.
    With this storm moving roughly along the surface front -- through
   an environment of maximized low-level vorticity -- this storm
   remains capable of producing a tornado, along with very large hail
   and damaging winds.

   Elsewhere, hail and gusty/damaging winds remain possible, and would
   increase locally if another storm becomes oriented along the surface
   boundary -- or along remnant outflow southwest of the aforementioned
   supercell.
